We had such a lovely stay here. It is an older property but very well maintained. I could tell the staff had been there for a long time and they seemed genuinely cheerful and helpful which gave me a good feeling about giving my businesses this company. The location is also incredible.

This hotel is very clean and pretty quiet go it’s location. Has a good bar/restaurant right next door and is literally across the street from the beach. It has a pool/hot tub and is a great hotel. It is an hour from the airport and a taxi from the airport will ruin your budget so take an Uber. Great time here

We absolutely loved our stay here! Our oceanview room was beautiful — waking up to that view every morning created a relaxing vibe. The rooftop had amazing views too, and we enjoyed spending time up there relaxing. The continental breakfast was really good with plenty of fresh options. Everything was clean, comfortable, and the staff were super friendly. We’d definitely stay here again next time we’re in town.
